6 Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 6. Lay it well to heart, therefore, that the Divine Goodness and Wisdom give you these heavenly states to possess them, not for any merit of your, for the heart of man is naturally averse to all good.
